Global gold reserves in 2023 and AFRICA’s top four: According to the US Geological Survey, identified economic gold reserves currently stand at just 59,000 MT globally in 2023. The majority of these reserves are concentrated in three key countries that dominate the global #gold landscape: #Australia, #Russia, and #SouthAfrica. These nations collectively hold a significant portion of the world’s #goldreserves. In AFRICA, South Africa leads in gold reserves, with a dip in production due to challenges in #mining deeper deposits. However, it still boasts substantial underground reserves, estimated at 5,000 metric tons, making it the largest in #Africa. Here are AFRICA’s TOP 4 Gold reserves 2023: 1. #SouthAfrica 🇿🇦 5,000 metric tons 2. #Ghana 🇬🇭 1,000 metric tons 3. #Mali 🇲🇱 800 metric tons 4. #Tanzania 🇹🇿 420 metric tons More of AFRICA’s, huge mineral potential. #TransformingAfrica #TheAfricaWeWant #AfCFTA #BrandAfrica #AU #GDP #Investment #Africa #AfricaMeansBusiness #ThisIsAfrica #Diaspora #IT #OneAfrica #AUC #TransAfricanHighway #SMEs #CreatingOneAfricanMarket #Invest #Tariffs #TheAfCFTAEffect #Trade #AI #AfricaRising #FDI #IntraAfricanTrade #Agenda2063 #Partnerships #AfCFTATV #WB #BuildBackBetter #InvestInAfrica #AfricanUnity #IMF #WTO #AfDB #TradeNotAid #AfCFTATrading #TravelToAfrica #CFTA #SAATM #TradeInAfrica #TradeUnderAfCFTA #JoinAfCFTA #AfricaOnTheMove #Infrastructure #Tourism #VisitAfrica #MadeInAfrica #AfCFTASecretariat #PanAfricanism #Investors #PAPSS #ZLECAF #AfricanSolutionsToAfricanProblems #Growth #BetterAfricaBetterWorld #StrongerTogether #UnitedUnderAfCFTA #AfCFTA2024 #Africa2024 #AfricaYesWeCAN #AfricaToTheWorld #GlobalAFRICA #EconomicOutlook

"It is through local content that we can disseminate wealth among the population." These strong words spoken by the Honorable Miguel Kashal Katemb, Director General of the ARSP - Authority for the Regulation of Subcontracting in the Private Sector of the DRC, resonated with many people on the second day of the Indaba Mining in Africa Conference. Apolinnaire Ihaza, Director of International Services, Africa, and Francophone Affairs at Catalyste+, remarked, "His intervention was very powerful due to the economic and especially mining potential of the DRC." In its role as a regulator, the ARSP constitutes an important tool of the Government of the Republic in implementing its policy of diversifying the national economy and creating favorable conditions for the emergence of a middle class of Congolese entrepreneurs.

Minerals in Africa are the bedrock of the global economy, powering industries worldwide. From gold and diamonds to cobalt and lithium, Africa's rich resource base fuels innovation and development globally. However, the current paradigm sees these minerals leaving the continent as raw materials, depriving African nations of significant economic opportunities. To truly harness the potential of these resources, there's a pressing need for local value addition. By investing in processing and manufacturing capabilities locally, Africa can shift the narrative and maximize the benefits of its abundant mineral wealth. It's time to empower African economies and communities through value addition and ensure that Africa rises as a leader in the global minerals revolution #mining #innovation #valueaddition Video credit to TRT

Dive into Africa's vast mineral wealth, which constitutes 30% of the world's reserves, including substantial shares of gold, chromium, and platinum. With China leading the investment charge, countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia are also tapping into these abundant resources. Join us exploring the opportunities for growth and development in Africa's thriving mineral sector! #GoldMining #mineralwealth #AfricanGold

They are running around taking 1cent dollar bribes than focusing creating local values stupidly believing in International Monetary Fund and The World Bank . To these Nigerians abroad calling themselves smart you need to step in and change your country not these corrupt crocodiles .In Francophone Africa we have started and nothing will stop us. Nigeria struggles to provide energy to its citizens, yet it's ready to engage in pipelines to supply gas to Morocco and Europe. It's time to choose human beings, not monkeys, to lead your countries. In a world that wants African minerals but not Africans, Saudi Arabia is betting on the continent's resources to become a minerals and industrial powerhouse. With over $2.5 trillion in potential riches under its soil, Saudi Arabia plans to invest abroad, refining, processing, and manufacturing based on raw minerals mined elsewhere. Khalid al-Mudaifer, the vice minister for mining, acknowledges that infrastructure is a key challenge to unlocking the full potential of African mineral resources. The kingdom pledges to help build up African countries' capacity to refine minerals into more lucrative products, thereby capturing more of the economic value of their resources. Saudi Arabia's focus is on addressing the shortage of infrastructure in African countries rich in critical minerals.

#latepost❗️ My 3 key highlights from Mining Indaba week in #capetown🇿🇦 were: 1️⃣ Being selected for the #MI24 30 future mining leaders in Africa initiative, reconnecting with alumni to strategise on the growth of the #uct LEAD alumni program, & meeting with His Excellency, Cyril Ramaphosa, president of 🇿🇦. A special shout out to T.B. Mlilo & Zeinab El-Sayed for making this recognition moment happen! 2️⃣ Contributing to the #AMDC led panel to unpack the draft Africa Green Mineral Strategy alongside the Honorable Ministers of Mines from #Zambia🇿🇲 & #Uganda🇺🇬, Dr. Vanessa Ushie of African Development Bank Group, Alaka Lugonzo from Oxfam, Dr. Marit Y. Kitaw & others. As a CSO representative on the panel, I emphasised the need for tax justice, value addition and community participation to be prioritised and implemented for the future of mining to benefit #africa. 3️⃣ Co-hosting a Tax Justice Network Africa/Tax Justice Network engagement session with Rachel Etter-Phoya at the 2024 Alternative Mining Indaba on the nexus between the extractive industries, climate change & tax justice in Africa. Honored to have had our stellar panelists Nkateko Jennet Chauke & Mkhululi N Ncube stimulate rich discussions and debate on the topic. Thank you to all that came and participated in this session. Ultimately, the hope is to see the outcome of these discussions culminate into concrete actions that result in Africa’s socio-economic transformation, more especially, as the competition for Africa's transition minerals intensifies. And of critical importance going forward, is safeguarding the interests of marginalised communities, where the actual extraction of minerals happens. #Mining4Development⛏️ #africanpeoplefirst #Africa🌍
